Hi to Ella and all contributers,
The main point has now been established! Your husband and the others that make excuses and find Vodka more acceptable are in serious difficulties.
I agree with the more experienced writers who accept the simple fact that drinking alcohol is a social and pleasant function in life.
The one major problem for everyone, not segregating those of us that are diabetics, is that alcohol in any form is dangerous. In such quantitys as every night drinkers consume; it is eventually a lethal cocktail.
Without re-quoting all the well documented statistics of heart liver and sight complications, only an uneducated fool would ignore such facts on record.
Simply inform your husband and others that there hands are on the switch they used in prisons such as Pentonville in the U.S.A. a few decades ago.
We are all aware of the factorial ending in such circamstances.
Not unlike the situation of anyone drinking alcohol in quantitys, medium or to excess in any form.
I now live in France, one might say a contadiction of views perhaps?
However, unlike us 'expats', the French have been aware of the poison for long time and the healthcare system educates accordingly.
I am now approaching my 72 years, a diabetic on insulin { Novo-Rapid and Levemir }, A big thank you to the local health team for realising how dangerously ill I was on my arrival en France. Having spent to many years on Metformin and other + other preparations due to the system in the UK .
So to your husband, my only suggestion, as you have found 'Ella', that no one can advise such people who wish to bury there heads in the sand..Is Is TAKE HEED IF YOU WISH TO LIVE !!!1
Harsh words maybe; but, unfortunately neccessary in these cases
Kindest Regard's
